A PDP guber aspirant in the forthcoming Edo election, Godday Idahosa had stepped down for APC topmost contestant, Senator Oserheimen Osunbor.
This was contained in a statement he personally signed on Thursday giving reasons why pulled out of the race.
Read him below:
“I wish to announce to the general public, that I’ve decided to withdraw from the race of becoming the number one citizen of Edo State, after careful observations, considering, the circumstances and irregularities that has marred our rule of law. It is in my own best interest at this point in my career, to make the well calculated choice.
” I regret the dissatisfaction this may have caused my team and well wishers, around the world.
“I’m collapsing my structure for Professor Oserheimen Osunbor, the former governor of Edo State, Nigeria, who’s running for the same office; but under the canopy of APC. He’s a well reputed politician, with excellent track record, and as such I’ve decided to give him my full support and encouragement. I humbly ask, that my team and well wishers around the world, joins him, with their supports, as well.
“I want to thank all of you who found me worthy to serve and had assisted in one way or the other, in the last couple of months. I look forward to engaging the innovative community whose interest is to make Edo State a better home. Thank You!
CHIEF, (HON.) GODDAY IDAHOSA
